Twitter gets a little more mercenary

It seems now they place “promoted tweets” from unfollowed feeds (example) in the user’s newsfeed, in addition to the “promoted feeds” in the “who to follow” column. It’s a free-as-in-beer service, so I’m not complaining, but I tend to think of trends toward salesmanship and advertising playing a bigger part of business models (and of course also job descriptions) as a sort of barometer indication of tough times.
